Having faith means that you are able to take a chance on something. Taking chances, even small ones, leads to opportunity. Even if you take a chance on something and it fails, you have learned something through experience. I know one thing for sure, if you stay in your house, waiting for something to happen in your life, you will die in your house, waiting for something to happen. You do not have to take a leap of faith, just take one step in faith, in words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Take first step in faith. You don't have to see whole staircase, just take first step.” I am reminded here of a scene from a movie. Towards end of third Indiana Jones movie (Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom), Indiana must cross an abyss to reach Holy Grail. There appears to be no bridge, no way across, only a long fall to certain death. He takes step anyway, and a bridge just appears out of nowhere. He took step in faith that he would not fall. That is exactly what I am talking about here. We all have ability to look inside of ourselves and find our faith in something or someone. Find it, and take that chance, reward will outweigh cost.

In order to get what you Desire you need to develop a strong sense of self-discipline. You need to see and feel and believe that what you want will come true. I set an alarm clock by my desk to remind me to repeat my Statement of Desire, every 2 hours throughout day. I have a picture of it burned onto my brain so that I have created a Burning Desire. It gets to point where you no longer have to drive it, because it drives you.

In all my years of searching for answers to all my questions and looking for formula that would help me to help myself, this is one that consistently works for me. You will find that mechanics for realizing your Desire will come to you when you are willing to do what it takes to make it a Burning Desire.

If your Desire is to give your children best education you can, you will find that perhaps you learn that a prestigious college is offering scholarships for which you can apply or that an excellent teacher will be holding a summer school on ways to enrich your child, that is not offered at school. Perhaps you will get a windfall of money to help you send your child to a college that specializes in their field (drama, art etc) or have access to a previously unavailable source of learning materials that your child will love. Maybe a course will come along that will teach your child how to study more effectively and retain more. The possibilities are endless and they will come with Absolute Faith.
